Add a personal touch to your Christmas tree and home with these easy handmade Christmas

ornaments that will give your home a warm, joyful look during the holidays. We know that as a creative person, you have a busy schedule and need ideas for simple decor and gifts! Ornaments are always fun to make so we have collected a few DIY ornaments that you can get started on to have ready when you decorate your tree this year.

Scrabble Ornaments

Scrabble pieces are the perfect size for making little messages around your tree. By taking just a few of those letters, you can create a number of festive messages. You can drill tiny holes in the wooden letter pieces and then attach decorations or ribbon for hanging them all together. Or to keep it even more simple, super glue the ribbon to your letter squares! Imagine the fun you will have decorating your tree with messages that you have created yourself.Instructions and Project Credit – Thingsthatarepretty

Paint Your Own Ornaments!

It’s so hard sometimes to find ornaments in the exact color that you want. You can paint those ornaments yourself and make sure that you have the perfect colors. You just need a few clear ornaments and the paint colors that you want. Just remove the metal cap and then add a bit of paint in the color that you want, rolling the ornament around so that it coats the entire inside. Another way to do it is to combine a few complimentary colors to create a beautiful swirl-like design. Be careful to only use a little paint at a time. You can mix and match paint colors to create something completely unique.Instructions and Project Credit – Littlegrayfox
